Lady Augusta Spencer

Lady Augusta Elizabeth Marie Mary Spencer (11 March 1823 – 16 November 1831) was a Lady of the noble House of Spencer (through her father) and a member of the Russian Imperial House of Romanov (through her mother). The youngest child out of the twenty children of Lord Norman Spencer and his first wife, Grand Duchess Petunia Nikolaevna Romanova of Russia. Lady Victoria Melita Spencer (the oldest sister to her father and her father`s two brothers), was a favorite of the young Augusta, citing Augusta`s older siblings as "uptight" and "rigid" in terms of their daily activities. She was named for her paternal female great-grandmother, Lady Augusta Willow Spencer (a close friend and confident to the first Norman Queen consort of England). Her maternal relatives didn`t have anybody in their family named Augusta, so they nicknamed her "August" due to her love for Fall; they even sometimes referred to her as "Осенняя принцесса" (Osennyaya printsessa) or "Fall Princess" as a way to affectionally refer to her. Augusta`s death was caused by drinking water from a contaminated stream, though rumors circulated that she was poisoned by Russian revolutionists (by virtue of her descent from a Russian Tsar and Tsarina, she could technically be considered a target).

Birth
Her parents, nicknamed 'North' and 'Persia,' were not related to each other and married due to their passionate love for each other. The marriage fell apart due to the birth of only three males; John, Charles, and Paul. Grand Duchess Petunia was thirty-six at the time of Augusta`s birth. Unlike her older siblings, she was doted upon by her parents with even the oldest of her older siblings resenting her for her favorable treatment. At the age of six months, Augusta, was given more favorable treatment than her older siblings had been given in a entire month. Her parents later had a dollhouse built for her and her older siblings who openly rejected the gift in favor of celebrating Christmas without her parents and their youngest sibling. Due to their preferential treatment of their youngest daughter, their older siblings refused to acknowledge them as their parents and became incredibly cold and calculating as a way to protect themselves from getting hurt.
